[Update 1.3.5] World Golf Rankings, New Weather API, Improved Golf Format, Bug Fixes

Hey everyone!

Back with a relatively small update. In 1.3.5, we've added Official World Golf Rankings, Rolex World Women's Golf Rankings, as well as made improvements to the formatting of golf results, changed the weather API so an API key is no longer required for the weather feature, and fixed some bugs related to pre-market and after-hours data.

If you encounter any bugs from this update, please reach out to us: info@fintic.io
